Ha Ha History Joke Book

Some of my super funny friends from The Tonight Show and The Howard Stern Show got together with me to create a cool joke book with a historical twist.

The e-version is available on Amazon at the link below. There are 366 jokes in the book, and it costs $4.99. So that’s a penny a joke. I rest my case…

Oh yeah, if you do like the book, it would be awesome if you could write a brief review.
